We all know that tequila is a very mixable spirit due to its flavor profile and body. Well, I've got a new Tequila cocktail that will be on the menu at Trois this month. It is called the Skinny Carlos and was inspired by the Mexican billionaire and 2nd richest man in the world Carlos Slim. He recently beat out Bill Gates and is second only to Warren Buffet. Here are the ingredients:
The Skinny Carlos
1.5oz Tequila Blanco
1oz Lillet Blanc
3/4oz fresh grapefruit juice
1/2oz pomegranate syrup
1.5 z of Brut Champagne
First, add the champagne to a Collins Glass with ice. Shake the first four ingredients over ice and strain into a Collins Glass over ice and champagne. Garnish drink with a large grapefruit twist and enjoy!
After experimenting, I realized that adding the champagne first helped create a more balanced taste with or without a straw.
